“My best friend jumped in front of me and took a knife for me,” she said.

Hurt said he doesn't think he could return to school anytime soon.

"I might freeze," he said. "I'm not sure I can go to school at this time. I need time to cope. All of us need time to cope. We're lucky to be alive."

He said he met the suspect a couple of times but didn't really know him.

“I feel he has issues he needs to work. He made a really bad decision that took him down a path he shouldn't have gone down,” Hurt said. “I hope one day I can forgive him and everyone else who he hurt can forgive him. Most of all, I hope he can forgive himself.”
